RBR850 Dropping Internet Connectivity

Seems to me a lot of people might 'dump' Netgear and go to another system because of the issues they were having that could have been avoided. I almost did!

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
